Favorite character thus far?

So, purely out of curiosity (and a little bit because I know it's all going to change later on in the story), I'm wondering who everyone likes the best so far...yes, the cat is included, because everyone loves the cat.

I have like 5O readers now, so I better get some answers here! I mean, who doesn't like to proclaim their favorite characters?

Bah! I like Willem... though I guess I thought his name was William through the comic till now. Oops. The mind reads what it wants.
He's, in my opinion, the only realistic character. Sorta.
You've got really out-spoken characters that if I met I might kill... I dunno. Willem seems to have the least said about him, and he seems the most laid back. I'm a big fan.
And Richard, you ~would~ like Emma. You're such a main-character girl fan. *much rolling of eyes*

Ooh, now we're getting a nice mix.
iago- that's an interesting viewpoint. He does definitely have the least said about him. I think he's competing with Theo for most laid back. And you'd probably want to smack me if you ever met me, as I'm almost as outspoken as Emma.

I like Theo the best... besides Kelsar that is. But I didn't vote for Kelsar due to his obvious advantage over the other characters with the whole being of the feline persuasion and automatically the best character

But I like Theo. He's realistic, he's flawed, he's abrupt and rather rude without meaning it, and he's struggling just like everyone else out there. Although the rude thing is what gets me, since I tend to do the same thing, so I sympathize.

I decided to go against the grain and vote for Alicey as my favorite character. Sure, she's a bit, what was the word... overbearing? Heh. But she's a person in a rough situation, dealing with it as best as she can. I can empathize with that.

I'm voting for Alicey too, but for purely visual reasons. She looks different than the other characters who are rather plain and undistinguished from masses of manga characters out there. She is the only one I could identify if all your characters were lined up next to a dozen other similar characters from other strips. They are sort of generalized but Alicey has her own look.

I really liked her look back in the beginning when you were using markers. The coloring on her gave her a depth that other characters didn't have visually. And of course the freckles! http://miruku.comicgenesis.com/d/20060125.html

Of course I'm a big fan of cast pages to help me remember who everyone is too. After reading the archive I will usually wait a few weeks for a strip to build up a few more episodes before reading it again so I can take in more of the story at once. It is easy to forget who is who just on visual clues unless they are distinguished somehow.

Now having given that critique, let me say that it wouldn't stop me from reading your strip and a lot of my favorite strips I have the same issue with. One of my favorite strips, Questionable Content, drives me nuts sometimes because of that. http://www.questionablecontent.net/
